Schools in Manassas, VA

“We loved having our twins at this school. They were at this daycare from 3 months to 2 years. Sadly, we had to leave the school because we moved farther south to Richmond. My 5-star review is because of Ciara (the Director) and Miss Annette (Teacher). They are the backbone of the school, with years of experience and compassion for all the kids that attend the school. I could see it every day at drop off and pick up. My kids would run up and hug them or greet them unprompted.

This is not to say that others who work at this location are not great at what they do. I just interacted with these two the most and had a great connection with them.

It was not always sunshine and rainbows, but I always felt heard when I had concerns, and they were always willing to make changes to give my children a better experience at the school. Ciara even went out of her way to help me find a sister school of the Merit to help us with our moving and transferring process. This was a huge deal for me and solidified my feelings about this location.

I recommend this school to any parents looking for a good school in the area. The price can be higher if you have more than one child at the school, but it's worth every penny when you know they are in good hands.”

“I want to say thank you to Ms Rebecca and all the mentors at Godddard school in Manassas. My son Gavynn had a great time and learned a lot of skills this summer. Every day they have different activities, educational and fun!!! I truly appreciate everyone!!! Thanks for taking good care of my 6 yrs old son.”

“Manassas Early Learning Center is an amazing place to send your child/children! After many years of experience, I can honestly say each year was wonderful. The first time I walked in the school, I immediately felt at ease. You walk in and immediately get the sense that happiness and creativity are oozing out. There's always laughter, play and teachers engaged with the children on their level. And the teachers are so caring, thoughtful and kind. I've never once felt unsure of sending them there in fear they wouldn't be cared for. I cannot say enough good things about ELC. My kids have thrived, learned, made great friends and memories. I'm grateful for ELC and their amazing staff. They have heart and it's just what you want in a preschool!”

“The staff is absolutely wonderful. My daughter and I get a very warm welcome every morning. Teachers offer regular feedback and make sure to include the entire class in activities. Kiddie Academy is just fantastic!”

“I am the current teacher and program director at Alpha-Bet Cooperative Preschool, and I have never loved my career more than I have being here. Having grown up in Germany and seeing other schools has always pushed me to create something like I have had as a child growing up, plenty outdoor time, messy play and tending to a garden were my favorite memories of my kindergarten childhood. Implementing these activities has given me pleasure and confidence that I am doing the right thing for our next generation in America.
I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.”

“We love the staff at Noah’s Ark! Our daughter has been going here since she was 12 weeks old and everyone has always been so loving, welcoming and helpful. We highly recommend Noah’s Ark.”

“We have been entrusting our daughter to the Merit School of Wellington since she was just 2 years old, and now at 7, we continue to be amazed by the exceptional care. From the very beginning, it was evident that this daycare was more than just a childcare place; it's a warm, nurturing environment that feels like an extension of our family. The staff members are not only highly professional but also incredibly warm and caring, making it easy for not only our daughter but us as parents to feel at ease and comfortable with her being in their care. Our daughter's transition from being a timid 2-year-old to a confident 7-year-old has been supported every step of the way by the amazing staff. Not only does she look forward to going to daycare every day during the school year (before and after care), but she also has an absolute blast during the summer months. The activities and programs they offer are not only educational but also incredibly fun, ensuring that she is engaged and entertained throughout the day. We cannot recommend Merit School of Wellington highly enough. It's more than just a daycare; it's a place where our daughter feels loved, valued, and truly happy. Thank you, Ms. Jennifer & Ms. Jessie, as well as the entire team for your exceptional care and dedication. We are grateful every day for the positive impact you ALL have had on our daughter’s life.”

I love the teachers he’s worked with and trust that my baby is in great care while I work. Now I am about to send my youngest son. Sending your children to daycare isn’t easy but they make it an easier transition.”

“THE BEST PLACE FOR YOUR KIDS:
I want to say a big thank you to all the teachers, the administration and everyone at Manassas KinderCare. I've never regretted bringing my toddler. My toddler is doing so well in class, always happy and ready to go to daycare. The teachers are the best any parent can have, so patient and down to earth with the kids. It's like a second home for my toddler. I want everyone to know if you need a safe, clean and excellent learning place to take your young ones. Then Manassas KinderCare is the place and you won't regret it at all. ?”

“The school has really made positive upgrades in last year in half. Mrs Heather and Mrs Nicky are really informative and friendly. There have been many family events that we really enjoy partaking in. I attended the graduation for my nephew and it was phenomenal! Lights camera action! The atmosphere for the event was top notch it even had a slide show! The children were happy as were the teachers. You could see the relationship between the children and teachers and the office personal were so loving and welcoming.
The building is a lot bigger than what the outside looks like. When you walk in the building it looks and smells nice. It has lots of classrooms . In front foyer area you can see boards that show different events the school has had and a bio of each staff!
Would recommend the school. It was the first graduation that I have seen where the school put so much effort.”

“We send our infant here and love it. They have live-stream cameras in the room so you can check in at any time to see what your child is up to. I know the teachers are taking great care of my baby because I see it live, and I see how happy he is to go into their arms.”

“Our family recently moved to the area and enrolled our son into a daycare/preschool close to our house. It did not take us long to see that was not working out. We moved him to Childtime, which was a little out of our way but without a doubt worth it. Three big points they hit: I was able to make a real person connection to the staff. They were always compassionate, concerned with my child's care and offered genuine support to our family.My son LOVED everyone there. Kids don't lie, so if he is happy that tells me he is being treated in a way he feels is nurturing.They were able to make personalized concessions based on our needs. It was not just a one size fits all facility, it is evident they understand every child has specific needs that need to be addressed and they see to it they are.We could not be happier with Childtime and the staff at this location. I trust this center with my most cherished and know they are a solid resource not just for my son but my whole family.”
